After a dry start to the weekend with plenty of sunshine after the few showers and thunderstorms on Saturday Morning, we’ve got more chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast looking ahead into the end of the weekend.

We will start the day with some sunshine on Sunday, then increase the cloud cover we had through the afternoon and into the evening. Showers and thunderstorms are expected Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, some of those could be strong to possibly severe.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Southeastern Michigan in a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) for severe weather on Sunday with Lenawee and Monroe Counties under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather. This risk for severe weather continues further south into the Ohio Valley where an Enhanced Risk (3 out of 5) for severe weather is in place from Missouri into Ohio and Kentucky.

Damaging winds in excess of 60 miles an hour and large hail will be the primary threat, although heavy rainfall will also be possible with some thunderstorms, as well as an isolated tornado could be possible as well. High temperatures heading for the upper 70s to near 80 degrees by Sunday afternoon.

We keep the chance of rain showers and clouds into the forecast. Looking ahead Memorial Day on Monday. High temperatures remaining into the low mid 70s by Monday afternoon.

Then we start to break up the cloud cover, bring a little sunshine into the forecast, but we also keep the chance of rain showers and a few thunderstorms into the forecast as well for Tuesday. High temperatures remaining in the low 70s by Tuesday afternoon.

We will keep the chance of rain showers into the forecast looking ahead to Wednesday, before high-pressure moves into the region and dries us out. Lots of sunshine is expected Thursday and into the end of next week on Friday. High temperatures cooler, in the 60s looking ahead into Wednesday before we warm back into the 70s for the end of next week.

The dry weather sticks around into the start of next weekend on Saturday, partly cloudy skies can be expected. High temperatures heading for the lower 80s before our next chance of rain moves into the region late on Saturday night.

Both generations on the ice Friday are intent on growing the game for today’s kids. Hartje and the Polar Bears believe an important step for women’s hockey in Michigan would be starting a Division I college team.

“I think if the PWHL establishes a team in Detroit, it will put a lot of pressure on the colleges to make sure there’s a D-I team in the state,” Hartje said. “Michigan has the second-highest number of players in the league, and it would have been a dream for us to be able to stay in the state to play.”

It’s been a problem for decades. Pierson had to turn down the offer from Boston University, because her family couldn’t afford to send her to New England for college. Hartje ended up at Yale University, and Megan Keller, who scored the gold medal winning goal for the U.S. in the 2026 Winter Olympics and plays for the PWHL’s Boston Fleet, went from suburban Detroit to Boston College.

Meanwhile, 2026 U.S. men’s Olympic team members and Michigan natives Dylan Larkin of the Red Wings and Zach Werenski of the Columbus Blue Jackets were able to stay in the state to play with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, then based in Ann Arbor, before moving on to the University of Michigan in the same town.

“Megan’s brother played at Michigan State, and I’m sure she also would have stayed here to play for a Michigan school,” Skarupa said. “It’s imperative that Michigan gets a college program.”

Skarupa is serious about growing the game. She is working with Keller and the NHL Foundation U.S. to identify recipients for its $100,000 Empowerment Grant Program for Girls Hockey.

“Every time I go back to a city, there are new teams, new girls and new faces,” she said. “It’s a testament to growth all over the world, but it is tremendous inside the U.S.”

Retired Detroit sergeant faces new sexual assault charge involving 14-year-old victim from 2002

Retired Detroit sergeant faces new sexual assault charge involving 14-year-old victim from 2002



An additional case, this one involving a victim who was then 14 years old, has been added to the sexual assault investigation against a former Detroit Police Department sergeant. 

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the latest charges on Friday against Benjamin Martin Wagner, 68, who now lives in Greenville, N.C. He had retired from the Detroit Police Department in 2017. 

The victim in the additional charges was 14 years old when the assault happened in October 2002 in Detroit, Worthy said. The prosecutor alleges that Wagner approached the victim, pointed a handgun at her, ordered her away from the location and then sexually assaulted her.

In this case, he faces charges of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. An arraignment hearing took place Friday in the 36th District Court in Detroit. A probable cause conference is scheduled for April 7.

The woman is now 37 years old. 

“She has lived with what happened to her for 23 years and has now bravely decided that she wants to be a part of holding him accountable,” Worthy said. 

Wagner participated in a court hearing Thursday and was remanded to jail, one week after he was charged with 15 counts of kidnapping and rape in five separate sexual assault cases. All of those incidents happened between 1999 and 2003 in the northwest side of Detroit, with the victims being young women between the ages of 15 and 23. 

The court dates for the earlier list of charges are April 7 for a probable cause hearing and April 14 for a preliminary exam.

Wagner joined the Detroit Police Department in 1989 as a police officer and was eventually promoted to sergeant. He retired in 2017 and moved to North Carolina.
